Specification of Letters Patent;

Patented Sept. 30, 1919 Application filedDecember 18, 1815. Serial Ho. 67,611.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES J. RYBERG,

a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Chicago, in the county of Cookand State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Electrically- Operated Signaling and Recording Devices,

of which the following is a specification,

reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

My invention relates to electric signaling devices which are also provided with recordin mechanism for registering the-time when t e signals are given, and in the em- '15 bodiment-of my invention shown and described in this application it has particularly to do with locks for the doors, windows or other openings of a building, which must be closed and secured to prevent unauthor ized entrance thereinto. v There has long been a demand for an apparatus which would record the time when a store or other place of business was unlocked in the morning and locked up at night, and it has heretofore been proposed to supply this demand by providing one or more of the doors with a lock having associatedwith it on the door, recording mechanism which would register the time when such look was operated either to lock or r to unlock the door. In prior constructions this necessitated the application to the door special lock in addition to the ordinary .lock, and alsovo-f recording mechanism operated by such special lock. Devices of this character have not, however, beenrsatisfactory, not only because they arebulky and 1 unsightly when applied to a door, but also because the necessity of applying them to 40 the door requires that the parts small and therefore more or less delicate in con+ struction, so that they are frequently damaged bvthe shuttingor slamming of the door. Moreover, in such prior devices the chronometric mechanism necessarily employed is so placed as to be subject to temperature varlations, and therefore its .accuracy is unfavorably affectedJflA further objection to the use of a supplemental-registering lock is that the employee whose duty it is to attend the locking up or unlocking the place, may, if he wishes to deceive the proprietor, operate the special look at" one time, and the ordinary look at another time, and the registering device will indicate only the time of the operation of the special lock. For example, if the employee is supposed to open the door at seven oclock in the morning, he may unlock the special lock at that hour, leaving the door locked by the ordinary lock, attend to personal errands in the interval before other employees are due to arrive, and then return and unlock the ordinary lock in time for their admission, and the employer would be given to. believe by the recording device that the store had been opened at seven oclock The objects of my invention are First to avoid the objections above mentioned providing a lock-operated recordingdevice adapted to be operated by an ordinary door look without changing such lock in any particular;

Second, to provide a recording device for locks which may be placed at any desired point without regard to the location of the lock, as, for example, in the oflice or in the home of the proprietor of the store, so that it maybe made as largeiand strong as may be necessary, and may be fully protected against tampering or injury;

ird, to provide a recording'or signaling device with operating mechanism actuated by the projection or retraction of the bolt" of an ordinary lock, to register the instant 8t by at which such bolt is moved;

Fourth, to provide registeringor signaling apparatus with" operating mechanism which is normally unaffected by the pro;

jection orretraction of a second bolt, which so the projection of the key-bolt, to operate the recording or signaling apparatus. "By I this means a record is made whenever the latch-bolt is. retracted or projected by the Y turning'of the door-knob, orrby such other means as may be characteristic of the lock,

so thatthelapparatus serves as a watchmans time recorder, as it records the time whenever, in making his rounds, the watchman turns the door-knob or otherwise with draws'the latch or other second bolt to try the door. By making the second bolt in- 7m in operative when the keybolt is in its retracted position, the usual latch may well be used for this purpose as the recording mechanism is not operative while the store remains unlocked during business hours;

Fifth, to provide a signaling device connected with the main door lock and with other suitable locks applied to other doors and windows, which, when the key-bolt is projected in locking the main door, will indicate whether or not all the other doors and windows have been properly secured. I use the term main door to indicate the door used by the person who opens the place in the morning and closes up at night, but generically 1t may be understood to mean any door whose lock operates the registering apparatus.

In addition to these principal objects of my invention, it is also my object to provide various improvements in the constructiton and operation of electrically-operated signaling mechanism, which will be specifically hereinafter pointed out.

In the drawings 1 have illustrated one form in which my invention may be embodied, and shall now particularly describe the apparatus so illustrated, but I wish it to be understood that the apparatus so shown and described is merely one of various ways in which the objects of my invention may be realized. The claims hereinafter made are accordingly to be construed generically, and are not to be limited to the specific construc- 'ion shown and described, except in so far as they are particularly directed to. the details of such construction.

The apparatus illustrated in the accompanying drawings comprises three main instrumentalities which cooperate in accomplishing the principal end desired-to-wit,

insuring that the place in connection with which the apparatus is used has been propand registering the time when the place is locked or unlocked. One of these instrumentalities is a chronograph, or a recording apparatus which includes a chro-nometer, or equivalent time-measuring device,means associated with such chronometer to receive and preserve records made from time to time in such manner as to show the time when such records were made, and mechanism arranged to be automatically operated by certain mechanism associated v with and operated by the key-bolt or latch bolt of the main door lock. which latter mechanism constitutes one of the, other in strumentalities referred to, so that the operation of such key or latch bolts will ac tuate such recording mechanism so as to make a record on the record sheet thereof. The other of the three instrumentalities mentioned is suitable bolting apparatus for securing thewindows and doors other than the main vdoor, and acting through suitable switches and electric circuits to sound an alarm when the main door is locked and such other windows and doors have not been properly secured.

lVith this brief outline of the chief parts of the apparatus considered as a whole, I shall now describe specifically the device illustrated in the drawings.

T he recording appemtus.-The recording apparatus comprises a base 20, which is prefwith a ledge 21 at v 24 is adapted to cooperate I lug 26 carried by the base,

' the hooks with a handle 27 at crably circular in shape and is made of any suitable material. It is preferably provided its upper margin which forms a support for a dome-shaped housing or cover 22, as best shown in Fig. 3. This cover is of such size and shape as to inclose the apparatus mounted on the base, and is arranged to be secured and locked to the base by providing it with downwardly-projecting hooks 23, preferably at diametrically opposite points adjacent to its lower margin, and with a laterally-projecting perforated lug 24 at a point about ninety degrees from The hooks 23 are adapted to enter slots 25 provided in the ledge 21, as shown in Fig. that after said hooks enters said"slots,' by turning the cover slightly, said hooks may be caused to engage suitable portions of the base, the construction and operation being similar to that of a bayonet joint. The lug with a perforated as shown in Figs. 1, 3 and 4, being arranged to register therewith when the hooks 23 are in engagement with the base. By then passing the hasp of a padlock or other locking device through the registering perforations of said lugs 24-26, the cover is locked to the base, and not only protects the recording mechanism from being tampered with, but may be used as a means of lifting and carrying the apparatus from place to place. The latter operation is facilitated by providing the cover the top, asshown in Fig. 3.

28 indicates a chronometer which is 29. 30 indicates the hour hand of the chronometer, which preferably extends entirely across the face of the dial and is provided at one end with an upwardly-projecting pin 31, tapered at its upper end to a point, and at its other end is provided with a counterbalancing weight 32 to offset the weight of the connecting-rod hereinafter mentioned. 33 indicates a minute hand, which is preferably T-shaped, having'arms 34.- extending in opposite directions from its pivotal point and at right angles to the main portion of the minute hand. These arms are provided with knobs 35 by means hand may readily be rotated when it "is necessary to set the chronometer. The chronometer is preferably operated by a spring in the usual way, the spring being adapted to operate the chronometer for a period of approximately eight days.- The function of the chronometer is to regularly rotate a drum or cylinder 36 which carries a record sheet or blank 37 upon which registrations are made when the locking devices are operated fro-m time to time. The

manner in which this drum is mountedand 4., the arrangement being such of which the minute hand, these two axes being its mode of operation will be best under,- stood by reference to Figs. 1 and 6. As shown in Fig. 6, the drum is provided with a central sleeve 38 which forms a passage through the drum at its axis for the reee tion of a shaft 39 which fits smoothly in said sleeve, This shaft, preferably at its intermediate portion only, is provided with screw-threads 4c, and on one surface-preferably that surface which is when it is in operative position the drum is provided with a lever 41 mounted between its ends upon a pivot 12, as best shown in Fig. t. tangentially to the alleys of the screwthreads in the shaft 39, with which it en- "ages in the manner shown in the latter igure.

uppermost The lever 41 is disposed To mlnirnize friction, said lever mounted on a adaptedto engage the screw-threaded portion 10, as shown in Fig. connected with the drum and with the lever 41 normally holds the roller 43 in operative position. A stop 45 engagesthe lever 41 so as to prevent the inner face of the roller 43 from frictionally engaging the shaft 39. The outer ends of the lever -11 are preferably provided with knobs 4:3 by means of which the lever may conveniently be swung upon its pivot to disengage the roller 13 -fromthe shaft 39 to permit the drum to be moved freely longitudinally of said shaft. lt will be apparent from the foregoing description pin it, said roller being A spring as I that the shaft 39 being stationary, when the U drum 36 is rotated in one direction, it will move toward one end of the shaft, and- When'rotated 1n the opposite direction, it

will move toward the opposite end of the shaft. Normally said shaft stands in a verwith a second sleeve 4'? forming a passage through the drum which is at the same radial distance from the axis of the drum as the pin 31 is from the axis of the hour coincident. Thus by turning the drum to the proper position, the pin 31 may be brought into line with the passage through the sleeve 47, so that a connectingrod {i8 may he passed through said sleeve into engagement with the pin 31 in the manner shown in Fig. 1. For this purpose, a tubular rod is used having ahead 49 by which may easily be handled. The rod 48 slides freely through the sleeve at and consequently permits vertical movement of the drum, meanwhile causing it to rotate llfl with the hour hand of the chronometer. Said rod may readily be withdrawn as ocoasion requires.

The shaft 39 is supported from its upper end, and is so mounted that it may be held in a vertical position, as shown in Fig. 1, or in a horizontal position, as shown in Fig. 6. The first of these positions is that which it occupies when the apparatus is in con dition for operation, the latter position being that to which the shaft isturned when a record sheet is to be applied to or removed from the drum, or when the drum itself is to be taken off the shaft. The construction by which this is effected is best shown in Figs. 1, 4 and 6. As best shown in Fig. 6, I provide an L-shaped standard 50, which is secured upon the base 20 in any suitable way, so that it is held rigidly in position. This standard is best made of channel-shaped metal, bent intermediately at an angle of ninety degrees. The upper or horizontal arm of said standard terminates in line with the axis of the hour hand 30, and the upper end of the shaft 39 is pivotally connected to this arm of the standard by trunnions 51 which engage the hub 52 of a lever 53 fitted upon the upper end of said shaft. The ma terial between the flanges of the channeliron is cut away to permit the lever 53 to swing freely upon said trunnions, as shown in Fig. 6. The lever 53 is arranged to project toward the vertical arm of the standard when the shaft 39 is in its vertical position, and "is provided withan angular lug 54 having a slot 55 which is adapted to re ceive a sliding catch 56. This catch is mounted to' slide longitudinally upon the horizontal portion of the standard 50, being mounted upon screws 57 which pass through a slot 58 in said catch, as shown in Fig. 6. At its outer end the locking catch 56 has a knob 59 by which it may be moved longitudinally, and it is impelled toward the shaft 39 by means of a spring 60 secured to the upright portion of the standard 50, as shown in Fig. 6. At a portion adjacent to the inner end of the locking catch 56 the web of the standard is cut away as shown at 61 in Fig. 6 for the passage of the lug 54, the arrangement being such that when the lever 53 is in its horizontal position, as shown in Fig. 1, the slot 55 is adapted to register with the inner end of the catch 56, which then enters it and holds the lever 53 firmly in its horizontal position, thereby locking the shaft 39 in its vertical position. The shaft 39 is held in its horizontal position shown in Fig. 6, by means of a latch 62 mounted upon a pivot 63 near the free end of the horizontal portion of the standard 50 and adapted to engage a lug 64 projecting from the hub 52 at the side thereof opposite the lever 53, as shown. The free end of the latch 62 is preferably provided with a knob 65 -Fig. 6, the latch 62 holds the shaft 39 in its horizontal position, but by lifting the latch to disengage it from the lug 64, the shaft is permitted to swing down into its vertical position, carrying with it the drum 36. The momentum of the shaft and drum when released is sufficient to carry the lever 53 to its horizontal position and cause the catch 56 to engage the notch 55 and automatically lock the shaft in its normal position. This is facilitated by beveling the lug 54"as shown in Fig. 6. The latch 62 is preferably "p-royided with lugs 66 at opposite sides of its pivot to limit its movement in one direction or the-other.

The record sheet 37 fit-ted upon the cylinder 36 is preferably a transparent sheet of paper of suitable shape, ruled in the manner shown in Figs. 1 and 5, one end margin being left blank and gummed so that the blank may readily be applied to the cylinder. The sheet does not bear directly on the metal of the cylinder, a sheet of carbon paper 66 being placed under the record sheet and a rubber platen 66 being fitted upon the cylinder between the metal and the carbon sheet so that a proper printing surface is provided, the arrangement being such that when the impression sheet is struck by a key or other rec ord making device, the carbon sheet makes an imprint on the under surface of the record sheet, which is visible through such sheet owing to its being transparent. This construction is desirable because it avoids the necessity of providing inking apparatus and makes a record which is visible without removing the record sheet from the cylinder. Preferably what is the lower margin of the cylinder when in operative position is provided with a flange 67 which projects radially to a slight extent to protect the platenand record sheet, as best shown in Fig. 6. As illustrated in Fig. 5, the record sheet is divided into fourteen horizontal divisions or zones, which are alternately ruled and plain. These zones are each as wideas the distance between threads of the shaft 39, so that the width of each zone measures one complete rotation of the cylinder, and consequently twelve hours of time. The ruled zones preferably represent time from noon to midnight, while the unruled zones represent time from midnight to noon, two'adj acent zones taken to ether representing a full day of twenty-four hours. It follows that there being fourteen zones altogether, the record sheet as a whole represents a week, and it is preferably marked to indicate the different days of the week, as shown in Fig.

5. It is also ruled vertically in twelve prinerly numbered, and it may also be subdi strike the record sheet with suflicient force to cause the impression sheet to correspondingly mark the record sheet. In the ap paratus illustratedwhich, as has been explained, is operated to make a record not only by the operation of the key-bolt, but also, while the door is locked, by the movement of the latch-bolt-I employ two of -such levers, which are operatively associated, respectively, with the key-bolt and the latch-bolt of the main door look, as will be hereinafter described. These type levers are similar in some respects to'the type levers of a typewriting machine in that the are pivotally mounted and are arranged to move quickly and forcibly on their operative stroke so as to strike the record sheet on the platen sharply. Their striking faces are provided with type which Wlll print the desired letter or symbol on the record sheet,

and preferably I provide one of the type levers with a triangular type and the other with a type which will print a vertlcal line. The triangular type is arranged so that lts base is horizontal, and the parts are adjusted so that the proper time registration is These type levers, whichshown at its apex. are numbered 6869, are best shown 1n Figs. 3 and 4. As shown in Fig. 3, they are disposed horizontally,-being mounted upon pivots 7 07 1, respectively, which are held in position by adjustable screws 7 273 mounted in frames 74.7 5 at opposite sides of the standard 50 and firmly secured thereto. By this construction the type levers may be adjusted vertically to a slight extent. -As best shown in Fig. 4, the pivots of the type levers 68-v69 are placed near their outer ends, which are provided with. slots 7677. The opposite ends of said type levers are bent, or otherwise fashioned so that-they project inwardly, i. 6., toward the standard 50, the

type 78-7 9 being mounted on the faces of such angular portions of the type levers so that when the levers are swung toward the standard 50the type are adapted to strike the platen. In order to permit this, the standard 50 is provided with a suitable opening 80, as shown in Fig. 3. Y

The-type levers are operated by means of vertically-disposed arms 81-82 connected, respectively to armatures 8384 of electromagnets 85-86 suitably secured upon the .mounted on its inner face,

base 20,- as shown in Figs. 1 and 3. The armatures 83-84 are pivotally mounted in any suitable way, as by means of pivot-screws 87, so that they swing toward and from their respective electromagnets, the return movement, when the magnets are deenergized, being effected by means of springs 88 shown in Figs. 1 and 3. In the construction shown, these springs are connected to the armatures below the pivots thereof, and to rotatable adjusting-pins 89, which are normally secured against rotation by set-screws 90. Anyother suitable construction for the purpose may, however, be employed. 91 indicates stopscrews for limiting the extent to which the armatures may move away from their respec- I tive electromagnets. The upper ends of the arms 8182' fit, respectively, in the slots 76-77 of the type levers (SS-69, and the parts are arranged so that when one or the other of the electromagnets is energized and attracts its armature, the arm connected with such armature will be moved quickly so ,as to throw the corresponding type lever forcibly toward the platen, thereby making a record. The two type levers are adjusted with reference to each other so that they do not interfere. By this construction I secure a a very sharp, quick action of the type levers,

with the result that a well-defined imprint is i made on the record sheet.

92 indicates a bracket, which is adjustably mounted on the standard 50 so as to be moved vertically thereupon, said standard having a slot 93 which receives a lug 9ft projecting from said bracket, as shown in Fig. 6. A screw 95 projects through said slot into the bracket 92, and also through a plate 96 which is fitted against the outer face of the standard 50, the bracket 92 being so that the parts operate as a clamp to secure the bracket in its different positions of adjustment. Said bracket carries a screw 97 which projects upward in such position that it may be brought into engagement with the cylinder 36 when the latter is in its normal or operative position. The purpose of this bracketand the parts associated therewith is to pro vide for accurately setting the cylinder at the proper hour and day when starting its operation, the bracket being lowered to near the bottom of the standard 50 when this} has been accomplished. As shown in Fig.

'3, the standard 50 is preferably ruled to 'until it rests upon the screw 97 and setting the chronometer, the'record sheet is properly set so that any registrations m. de thereafter are correctly entered.

Assuming that the recording apparatus is 5g oi. the Weeln T" i to the picopet noint near the upper end the shalt 39, hich is best done "when the left is in its orisontal position shown in 0, although he cylinder may be adjusted when the si ait s in vertical ition.

This position is maintained so long as the lever 114 is in the position shown in Fig. 11 which is the position it occupies so long as the key-bolt is retracted and the door is unlocked. While this condition obtains, it will be apparent, therefore, that the latch-bolt may move into and out of its opening in the keeper-plate, and consequently swing the plate 108 back and forth, therebvroching the arm 113 in one direction or th the lever 126. When, however, the key-bolt is projected into its opening inthe keeper, it swings the plate 101 so as to rock the arm 107 to the right, thereby correspondingly swinging the bell-crank lever 11 1 and moving the lip 122 to the left. .This'permits the arm 128 to swing toward the pivot 112 of the arm 113, under the action of a spring 129 shown in Fig. 11, far enough so that when the arm113 is rocked it will rock the lever 126 upon its pivot. This occurs whenever the latch-bolt is moved into or out of its opening in the .keepenplate. From the therefore, that so long as the door is unlocked, the latch-bolt may be moved into and out of its socket without rocking the lever 126, but that as soon as the-door is locked, the

lever 126 willbe rocked whenever the latchbolt is moved into or out of its socket. The lever 126' is provided with another arm 130, which is adapted to make passing eontmt supported by, but insulated from, the plate 106, and connected to a wire 132. Preferabl tacts 115, 118, 123, 127, and 13l'are all mounted upon a plate 133, of insulating material, which cooperates with the plate 106 to make a box-like inclosure for the parts described,-theother sides of the box being inclosed in "any suitable way. 134; indicates a conductor which connects levers 114 and 1%, this being preferably a. strip of brass The lip 122' y, the spring-conscribed are shown in 1* theposition shown in 1* cylinder 36 will rot-at,

By following the diagram on 2, it will readily A e apparent how records are made when the lock is operated, Assumingthat so the door is unlocked the parts will be in 0 which time A, no-current will flow through elth v o" electromagnets 85--86 l cons-aqua uthout having a record made upon it. in tong as the a o remains unlocked the latch-bolt may be operated in the usual way in opening'and shut ting the door without making; any record, ecause such cpei ill a of the electric 51 a arm 113 swine" the lever 126,

Cones quently, whenever the latchmoved it rocks the lever 120 so as move its arm into passing contactwitli brush 131, which is also so shaped as to make the conl vlhenever such conee tact is made, a circuit is established through electromagnet 86 by wires 132, 139, battery 138, wire 135, connection 134:, and lever 126. This energizes said electromagnet and operates the other type lever 69 to make a record on the record sheet. The characters of the two type levers being different, the record sheet shows separately the operations of the key-bolt and the latch-bolt, so that the proprietor can tell which of them was operated, and at what time.- When the keybolt is withdrawn to unlock the door, a. record is made by the type lever 68 in the same way as before, and the latch-bolt is accordingly disconnected from the record mechanism. It is therefore impossible to lock or unlock the door without making a record, and, so long as the door remains locked, every time it is tried by turning the knob to operate the latch a record is made. The apparatus therefore is well adapted to serve the purpose of a watchmans time recorder, as such a watchman is usually required to try the doors on his beat at stated intervals, and the apparatus described would properly record whenever that was done,

In Figs. 15 to 17 I have shown a modified construction, which, among other things, provides for assembling the parts with the cover-plates of the key-bolt and latch-bolt openings at any desired distance apart to accommodate different styles of looks. The operation of the apparatus is, however, the same as that shown in Figs. 10 and 11. In the construction shown in Figs. 15, 16, and 17, one end of each of the pivots 101 and 111 is mounted in a plate 15-1 which is secured to the keeper-plate 99, the opposite ends of said pivots extendin through the plates 106 in the way hereinbefore described. The plates 101--108 covering the openings in the (ey-bolt and the latch-bolt, respectively, may be spaced apart any desired distance to accommodate such openings by boring the plates 15 1 and 106 at the proper points to receive the pivot 111. In order to permit this variation without changing the switch mechanism by which the various circuits are made, such switch mechanism is made as follows: The pivot 101 is provided with a segmental rack 155, shown in Fig. 16, which meshes with a segmental rack 156, which performs some of the functions of the lever 114. The rack 156 is mounted on a pivot 157 and is provided with a lug 158 and with a cam-like projection 159. The lug 158 is adapted to make a passing contact with an arm 160 pivoted at 161 and normally pressed down against the stop 162 by a spring 163, which is connected with a short arm 16 1 carried by said arm 160. This arm 160 corresponds with the spring-contact 128 shown in F ig. 11, and performs the same functions.. The shoulder 159 is adapted to engage one arm 165 of a bell-crank lever 166, pivoted at 167 and having a downwardly-projecting arm 168. Connected to the latter arm is a spring 169 which tends to draw said arm to the left against a sto 17 O. This bellcrank lever 166 is connected with wire 119 leadin to bell 136, and so performs the functions 0 the spring-contact 118. The arm 168 is provided with a block of insulating material 171, which is interposed between it and the upper arm 17-2 of a lever 178 pivoted at 171. The lower arm 175 of said lever is provided with a lug 176 which serves as a contact projection. The arm 17?. is normally held in the position shown in Fig. 16, when the door is unlocked, 'by the spring 169 and a lighter spring 177, which is connected to a lug 178 on said lever. The spring 169, being stronger than the spring 177, normally holds the arm 168 in contact with its stop 170 and prevents the arm 17 2 of the lever 173 from swinging to the right beyond'the point where it is intercepted by the insulating block 171. WVhen, however, the door is locked, the segmental rack 155 is swung to the right op ositely rotating rack 156 so that shoul er 159 strikes the arm 165 of the bell-crank lever 166 and swings arm 168 of said lever to the right, thereby permitting spring 177 to rock lever 173, carrying the lower arm 175 to the left into contact with the stop 179. This carries the contact projection 176 over far enough so that it is in position to be intercepted by a lug 180 carried by a rack 181, mounted to slide longitudinally upon the inner face of the plate 106, said rack being mounted upon pins 182 for that purpose. The rack 181 meshes with a segmental rack 183 mounted on the pivot 111. so that it is swun by the swinging of the latch-bolt cover-plate 108. It will be apparent that when the door is locked, movement of the latch-bolt will move the rack 181 vertically so that its lug 180 makes a momentary passing contact with projection 176, and thereby effects a registration in the manner already described, since the lever 173 performs the same functions as spring-contact 131. Obviously, the position of the pivot 111 may be varied vertically to a consideral'ile extent, without affecting the operation of the rack 1.81, by means of the segmental rack 183, and consequently the opening for the latch boltmay be so placed as to accommodate a great variety of locks without changing the construction of the operating parts carried by the keeper-plate. It will be underst-ood that the several parts are insulated where necessary to provide the circuits illustrated in Fig. 2.

The alarm mechanism=-ln Fig. 2 I have shown diagrammatically the manner in which bolt-s, or other securing devices applied to openings other than the main door, are connected up with the other parts of the apparatus so that when the main door is locked, if such openings have not been secured an alarm-is given. Insaid figure,

' I have shown the connections of two of such supplemental locks. Referring to said figure, 140 indicates a switch member, preferably in the form of a lever, pivoted at 141 and adapted .to make contact with a spring 142 connected by a Wire 143 to a tery 138. The circuit through the battery and bell is, however, not closed unless arm 116 of lever 114 is in contact with the spring 118, which occurs only when the main door is locked, as has been described. It follows that when the door is not locked, the bell 136 does not sound, even if the lever 140 is in contact with spring 142,-but if the door has been locked and the lever 140 is in contact with spring 142, there will then be a closed circuit through the battery and bell, causing thebell to ring. In the same figure I have illustrated another lever 147-, similar to the lever 140, which cooperates with a spring 148', saidlever being connected to wire 146, while the spring 148 is connected to wire 144. It will be apparent from the illustration that however many switches similar to the levers 140 and 147 may be used, if only one of them is in contact with its spring, the bell willv ring, but if all of them are disconnected from their respective springs, the bell will not ring when the -main door is locked. The illustration in Fig. 2 is mainly diagrammatic, but it will be readily understood that in applying the supplemental looks or bolts to openings other than the main doorit is necessary only to provide fastening means which will i open an electric switch when fastened, and

will close it"when they are unfastened, in order to secure the results described. A convenient device for this purpose is shown in Figs. 13 and 14. As therein shown, 149

indicates an ordinary bolt mounted .in a fixture 150 in the usual way. This bolt is applied to the movable part of the opening, such as-a door, or a window sash. Cooperating with the bolt 149 is a pin 151, mounted in a suitable bracket 152 Which is secured to a stationary part of the opening in such position that the pin 151 ali'nes with the bolt 149. A spring 153 normally presses saidpin toward the bolt, its movement being limited" by a stop in any suitable way. One of the "switch levers, as 140, is mounted on the bracket 152 and connected with the pin 151 in such manner that when said pin 151 is moved back so as-toycompress the spring 153. it rocks the 'switoh zlever 140 and moves it out of contact with its spring 142, which is shown as being mountedon the bracket 152. The bracket 152 acts as a keeper for the bolt 149 when it is in looking position, and consequently, when said bolt is shot to secure the window,'or other part to which it is attached, it moves the pin 151 to the right, thereby disconnecting the lever 140 from the point. In the constructionshown, the bolt 7 's spring 142 and opening the circuit at that p is arranged to be secured in its projected 7 position by a notch in the usual way, to pre vent the spring 153 from moving the bolt back out of locking position.

By means ofthe apparatus described, it will be seen that when the main door 'is closed for the night and locked, if the bell '136 rings, it indicates that there is some other opening that has not been properly secured; or if, after the store is locked, any

such other opening should be opened, the

\ the alarm. The 0 eration of the latch-bolt while the door s bell will ring, giving locked has no effect on the bell.

From the foregoing description it will be apparent that the construction described provides for operating two signaling devicesby the movement'of a lock-bolt, which may be either the'key-operated bolt or the usual latch-bolt, one of such signaling devices being invariably operated to record the time'- of such movement of the key-bolt, and, while the door-remains locked, to record the time of movement of the latch-bolt, While the other of such signaling devices sounds an alarm when the key-bolt alone isoperated to lock the door, provided all other fastening devices in the alarm si nalcircuit have not previously been secured;

The terms Si 1 and Si alin dta a s vices. are herein used ina generic sense to indicate the recording devices or equivalent mechanism of any suitable description, the operation of which is controlled by move ment of the bolt or bolts of the lock, and the term door lock is intended to include not only a lock 'for doors, but also looks employed in any equivalent situation.
